Rockit Rocker USB Rechargeable 2.0. Rock-it Baby Rocker Rocks Any Stroller, Carriage, Pushchair or Buggy. Comes with a Rotating Stroller Bracket
Does your little one wake up as soon as the buggy stops moving? The Rockit will keep rocking so you don’t have to! Created to help parents on the go, this handy must-have accessory keeps babies moving and snoozing. Simply attach to your pram or stroller, push the button and adjust the speed to gently rock your baby, just like you would. What’s more, it’s now rechargeable!
When Dr. Nick Webb (Ph.D. in Sound and Vibration Engineering) noticed his three-month-old daughter Abby would wake as soon as her buggy stopped, he decided to invent a solution.
He came up with a clever mechanism, that creates a side-to-side motion when it’s attached to a pram. Scientific tests show that the vibration level closely mimics the normal hand rocking of a stroller and the subtle, yet soothing movement is gentler than a pushchair moving over paving stones. It was perfect for keeping babies moving and snoozing! During product development, an adjustable speed dial was added, which lets you find the most effective rocking motion for your pushchair model and for your baby.

Upseat has taken the traditional booster seat and given it a design makeover that has turned it into a 3-in-1 ergonomic solution; it can be used as a floor seat for sitting up, a booster seat using the handy conversion straps, or a feeding seat with an attachable tray. Developed with the help of leading physical therapists, the Upseat engages the muscles responsible for proper upright posture and safely splays your baby’s hips in a development-friendly position. According to the International Hip Dysplasia Institute, “The healthiest position for hips is for them to spread apart to the side. Free movement of the hips promotes natural hip development.” – And it provides large leg grooves to accommodate healthy thigh sizes, too! This all began with the birth of a young boy, Jack, with cerebral palsy. Searching for a solution to support his son (and the nearly 10,000 babies born each year that develop cerebral palsy) with proper upright posture as well as promote natural hip development, Jack’s dad worked with renowned physical therapists in North America and developed the answer they had been searching for in a baby seat: Upseat.
